Less than two percent of US-funded cancer studies make the online news

A new analysis of U.S.-funded cancer research shows that online news stories mention significantly fewer studies than do other forms of news media.

Laura Moorhead of San Francisco State University and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS ONE on March 10, 2021.
